Dividend stock alert! Rs 30/share - Highest ever by company | Check record date, payout history

Dividend 2026: India's leading gold loan non-banking financial company (NBFC) has declared a payout for its shareholders. The lender's board has approved an interim dividend of Rs 30 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26. 

This represents a 300% payout on a face value of Rs 10; this marks the highest ever dividend announced by the NBFC.

The generous payout comes from Muthoot Finance Ltd. The announcement was the result of a board meeting held on April 10, 2026. In Friday's session, Muthoot Finance stock climbed 2.81% to Rs 3572.55 apiece on the BSE, a jump from the previous close of Rs 3474.95.

“Decided to seek approval of the shareholders to amend the main objects clause of Memorandum of Association of the Company to include a new sub-clause enabling the Company to undertake insurance corporate agency business,” Muthoot Finance added in the exchange filing.
